Algebra: Pens and patterns
Students investigate agricultural show pen designs by building, testing and comparing connected square-pen arrangements. They develop step-by-step and relational rules for growing patterns, including rules with rows and columns, then apply these rules to compare panel use and cost to justify an efficient show design.
Number: The secret patterns behind string art
Students use a string art image to explore the Cartesian plane and directed numbers. They start by drawing the design by hand, discovering a numerical pattern in the coordinates of every line, then move to Scratch, where they learn to code that pattern as a loop.
Statistics: Loopy aeroplanes
Students make loopy aeroplanes using different designs. They collect, represent and analyse data to answer the question "Which loopy aeroplane design is best?”.
